About Us

Waverley Care is Scotland’s leading HIV and hepatitis C charity. Guided by the voices and experiences of the people we support, our work helps shape vital services and influences national policy on sexual health and blood borne viruses. Our vision is a Scotland where everyone living with, or at risk of, HIV and hepatitis C is treated with dignity, acceptance, and respect. Through our services, we create safe spaces where people can connect, share experiences, and build confidence. We work to end isolation and support people affected by HIV or hepatitis C to live well.

About Our Board

Waverley Care’s Board brings together a committed group of trustees who are responsible for the charity’s governance and strategic direction. Working collectively, trustees ensure that Waverley Care remains focused on its purpose and continues to deliver meaningful impact for the people and communities we support.

Who we would like to hear from

Previous experience of being a charity trustee is not essential, as training and mentoring will be available to support successful candidates to develop their skills and confidence in the role. We are seeking people who can contribute insight and perspective to the Board across two areas. You may bring experience in one or both.

We are particularly keen to broaden the diversity of our Board and to include the voices of people from the communities we work with. This may include:

• People with lived experience of HIV or hepatitis C.
• People from communities disproportionately affected by HIV or hepatitis C.
• Professionals with experience working in the HIV or hepatitis C sector

We are also interested in hearing from people who can bring specific professional expertise or qualifications in one or more of the following areas:

• HR
• Fundraising
• Finance

Time Commitment

As a trustee, you would be expected to attend four Board meetings per year. Meetings are normally held quarterly in Edinburgh city centre and, while we encourage trustees to attend in person where possible, a virtual option is also available. In addition to these meetings, trustees may be invited to attend occasional Board and organisation-wide development days.
